That is very interesting. Mine are all great at freeranging.

None of mine have gone broody in 3 years.

Mine are all good except 1 which is super flighty. However none are as gentle as my most calm and friendly easter egger.

Plus there is a little revenge in there to make you feel better.

agreed.

both cockerels. I'd buy them from you if you were closer. A great rooster for making olive eggers.

I think sometimes we cause more suffering by not culling. In essence we love them to death.

Soup.

I would cull her.

Concrete sand works great.

Where did your RIR come from?

I have a RIR hen that lays about every 3 days. They just keep getting bigger. All single yolks. She is her 2nd year laying. These are from the last week. I should create a breeding program around her. haha. Post your big eggs for all to see!

If you choke it a bit, you will get the goods. So much better than, "what sex is my chicken"

Nothing wrong with underneath.

That one doesn't look like any of my WTB's.

Think of it as hair color shades in humans. Some have dark brown, some have light brown. Why is the shade different? isn't brown, just brown? Nope.

I think sometimes we want the egg color genetics to be consolidated in to 1 set of chromosomes, which is simply not the case unfortunately.

In that case you may get blue or you may get olive, assuming the ee hens carry 2 copies of the blue gene. This is a very simplified answer, there are other factors but this will generally be the case.

Probably has olive egg genetics, a brown over blue cross. He could then supply a brown or blue gene to his offspring. Meaning it would all depend on what he was bred to.

I forgot to mention, I order 4 week old pullets, and they were sexed accurately.
